Server Guidelines

These are the rules every server listed on Fluxer Bot List (FBL) has to follow. They protect the users who click an invite on your listing — not to gatekeep communities, but to make sure people land somewhere safe, active, and as described.

If anything here is ambiguous, default to "what would a reasonable server member expect."

---

1. Identity

• The server name, icon, and description on the listing must match the real server.
• You must be the owner or hold an admin role granted by the owner. You cannot list a server you're just a member of.
• Don't impersonate another community, a brand, Fluxer, or Fluxer Bot List.

---

2. The invite

• The invite link must be permanent — do not use single-use or 1-day invites.
• The invite must drop users into the real server described in the listing, not a gateway / verification server that then redirects them.
• If the invite stops working, fix it. Listings with a broken invite for more than a few days are unpublished.

---

3. Safety & moderation

• Your server must have active moderation. At minimum: rules visible to new members, a way for users to report problems, and at least one moderator who actually responds.
• Age requirement: the server must follow Fluxer's minimum age requirement. If your community targets adults, you also need the NSFW tag (see §6).
• Use channel-level permissions correctly. Do not rely on "please don't look at that channel" — lock it.
• Don't run verification gates that collect personal data (government ID, phone number, address) from every member. A simple rules-gate or captcha bot is fine.

4. Content quality

Low-effort listings are the top reason server submissions get denied. We expect:

• A short description that tells a first-time visitor what the community is about.
• A long description that covers: topics, channel structure, events, and anything users should know before joining.
• Real tags — don't tag gaming on an art community just to appear on that page.
• The language code matches the primary language of the server.

---

5. Activity

• Servers need to be alive. A listing with zero activity in the last 30 days and ≤ 20 members will typically be denied.
• You don't need to be huge — you do need to be real. A small, active community of 50 is better than a dead community of 5,000.
• Bump-for-rewards spam ("react here for a ping role, join 10 servers") is against the guidelines.

---

6. NSFW content

• Servers with any NSFW content — channels, roles, media — must use the nsfw tag.
• The landing / visible-on-join channels shown to new members must be safe for work. Adult content goes behind NSFW-gated channels.
• Anything involving minors is a permanent ban — no warnings, no appeals.

---

7. Things we will always deny

• Scam / phishing / token-grabber servers (including "free Fluxer" / "free Discord" / "free crypto" fronts).
• Hate, harassment, or violence as the premise of the community.
• Server-nuking / raiding coordination hubs.
• Selling accounts, followers, inflated server metrics, or votes.
• Fake giveaways that require members to do external actions (subscribe, invite 20 friends, complete a survey) to receive a prize that doesn't exist.
• Servers whose entire purpose is to advertise a different server via forced DMs.

---

8. Ownership transfer

If you transfer ownership of a real-world community, you can transfer the listing too — open a support ticket with both accounts present. Do not delete and re-list; that resets vote history and looks like duplicate-submission abuse.

---

9. Appeals

If your server is denied or banned and you believe it was in error, open a support ticket with:

• The server ID (right-click → Copy ID with Developer Mode on).
• A link to your FBL listing.
• What you believe was misinterpreted.

Reviewers read every appeal. They won't always agree, but they will explain.

---

Summary

Be who you say you are. Keep members safe. Don't abuse invites or inflate numbers. Moderate actively. Follow that and your listing will be fine.

Grow real communities. We'll gladly list them.
